In the EU, social media platforms are accountable for their addictive designs. Our investigation of Instagram and Facebook shows Meta has not adequately assessed the risks of features such as infinite scroll, auto-play, push notifications, and recommender systems.

We are stronger when we act as Europe. The mandate from Europeans is clear: 🔹 74% support for defence investment 🔹 52% trust the EU to strengthen security 🔹 53% see Space Policy as a key security tool Europe is investing in our collective sovereignty and industrial competitiveness.

A graphic featuring a horizontal scale with a large percentage figure of 52% displayed prominently. The background has a gradient green colour. Below the scale, the text reads, "of Europeans trust the EU to lead on DEFENCE," with "DEFENCE" highlighted in bold white letters inside a white rectangle. The European Union flag is positioned in the bottom right corner. In the top right corner, there is a label "Eurobarometer survey".

An infographic featuring a vertical bar with a scale from 0 to 100, indicating 53%. The background is solid green with a subtle shield symbol on the left. The design includes a large number "53%" in bold green, with supporting text below that reads ‘of Europeans see our space policy as a critical pillar of our security architecture’. "Space policy" highlighted in bold white letters inside a white rectangle. There is a European Union flag icon in the bottom right corner. The survey is titled "Eurobarometer survey" in the top right corner.

A gauge chart with a semi-circular scale from 0 to 100, with an arrow pointing to the 74% mark. The background has a gradient of blue and green shades and there is a faint image of a shield symbol. The text states "74% of Europeans support the current or increased level of EU DEFENCE INVESTMENT." Eu defence investment is highlighted in a green box. In the top right corner, there is a label "Eurobarometer survey" and a small European Union flag icon is in the bottom right corner.

An infographic featuring a vertical bar with a scale from 0 to 100, indicating 68%. The background is solid green with a subtle shield symbol on the left. The design includes a large number "68%" in bold white, with supporting text below that reads ‘of Europeans believe their country is under threat’. There is a European Union flag icon in the bottom right corner. The survey is titled "Eurobarometer survey" in the top right corner.
